"So it's not a great mood, but at the same time it's a time where everybody needs to stick together, stay strong and focus on that.

"It's been really disappointing and I'm sure there'll be days, whether it's in a week or in a month, or even in a few months, when you'll wake up and it'll come back into your head and you'll be really disappointed again.

"But at the same time, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and you've just got to keep going and learn from the experience as best you can.

"It's hard to sum it up - I'm sure everybody at home is feeling really down. For us here, being a part of it and being a part of the actual team that can go on and show what we're about, we feel as though we've let a lot of people down.

"But I think we've shown people how well we can play in a big tournament with young players coming through the system and getting the chance to play on the world stage. I thought a lot of them have done really well.

"Hopefully we can gel together, stay strong together, and in the future have many more happy memories."
